Here is some info I found here (http://www.conceptcarz.com/carChosen.asp?car_id=150&NewestConcepts=&manu=34&car_name=&car_type=&recent=&thisPage=&pendingApproval=)

In the mid 1980s, Giorgio Moroder and sports car specialist Claudio Zampolli decided they wanted to build something truly unique. Their vision was of the ultimate super-luxury, super-performance sports car. This car borrowed from the realm of rich men's daydreams would offer everything the wealthiest might want in such a vehicle-bold innovative styling, custom manufacturing, greatly enhanced performance, and infinite luxury. Combining their names (Cizeta is Italian for C.Z., Zampolli's initials), the two men decided to refer to their supercar as the Cizeta-Moroder. To create a look worthy of such a supercar, Moroder and Zampolli turned to Marcello Gandini. This accomplished sports car designer had become famous by producing the styling of many Lamborghinis such the Countach and the Lancia Stratos. And the two visionaries were rewarded for their choice with a design that is rich, sleek, sporty and dramatic. But where do you go to build a car the likes of which the world had never seen? Moroder and Zampolli went to the Mecca of fine Italian car production-Modena, Italy. Here a crew gathered that included many who had worked on Marcello Gandini's Lamborghini Countach years earlier. The car was shown at the Geneva Auto Salon in 1988 with tremendous success. By 1991, the attractive Cizeta-Moroder V16T was delivered to the world and available for purchase. This concept car offered many features, with its powerful 16-cylinder engine being the most impressive. Packed with 540 horsepower, this V-16 granted drivers the tremendous ability of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph within 4 seconds and an exhilarating, top running speed of 205 mph. To accomplish such high performance, Oliviero Pedrazzi-the chief designer for Cizeta-Moroder,-introduced a powerful engine that would combine the best of available sports car technology. Though it might be roughly imagined as two V-8s working harmouneously, this finely executed engine is actually much more sophisticated. For example, the engine is transversely mounted just ahead of the rear wheels, and the design incorporates 64 valves and a total of eight camshafts. Two radiators keep this powerplant cooled. With a price tag of $600,000 each, the Cizeta-Moroder came with many other enhanced features besides the inspired engine. For instance, the luxurious and roomy interior sported full leather, and high-end audio and air conditioning systems were standard. Aluminum formed the body of the automobile except for the roof which was built of steel as an added safety feature. Its immense brakes were provided by Brembo. And the tires, manufactured by Pirelli, were the largest available (245/40 front and 334/35 rear) at the time of car's introduction on the market. Even the design of the sports car's logo received maximum thought and attention. In 1988 Moroder received the Philadelphia award for design excellence for his attractive logo concept for the Cizeta-Moroder. Once production was up and running, the plan was to produce one of these super Italian sports cars a week. And other designs and models were envisioned for the future. But despite some orders, including one from an impressed Sultan of Brunai, a world recession forced production of the Cizeta-Moroder to come to a halt. And that's where the story of this dream car rests, at least for now.


It weighs 3520lbs, has a 6L V16 with 560hp@8000rpm and 398lb-ft of torque. It does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, and goes on to 205 mph (sounds like a Diablo, and this site sometimes gets mixed up, so it could be different). Oh, it costs $600000.

whoa.....thats a nice car:bandit: :smoka: :smoker2: :ylsuper

Aka tricked out Lamborghini. Cool but those 4 headlights look stupid.

wow thats a sick car, but i have never heard of that make before

Nasty interior, but the car looks good!

look here there is a threat about it
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t59631.html

The interior IS very nasty! So 80's!

how many were made?

not many around 12i think

Any idea how much these things go for? I've got a couple mill lying around my pocket... in my dreams! :D

they look like a lamborghini with ferrari testarossa vents...
and those headlights are cool...yet odd

I hate flip up headlights, they really annoy me. Shame the lotus has got them, but no car is perfect.

what about the flip up light when you drive 250...
when you put your lights on...

It is a real aerodynamic flaw! Thy dont they all have glass design?

dou you feel it when they come out?

Very slight in the lotus, but when you are in some cars...

Why dont they all have glass design? Cos it would ruin/change the look of the front of the car!

oh wow didn´t know that thats interesting

They try to mininmize it, but in some cars they just havn't bothered.

friend of me has a ford probe 24 v he has the same light
yesterday i tested it at 220kmh ... it´s really a BIG flaw!

I cruise at 90mph on the motorways! that is no test!

Of course sticking two square, very un-aerodynamic objects up in the air is going to make a big difference. But thats going to happen in any car with pop-up lights, its something you have to expect and accept. No way of smoothing these types of lights over, is there....

Making glass ones. :D

But then u ruin the design.. theres just no way around it

I suppose. :( There must be a way.

in germany we have a clever sentence "Wo ein Wille ist, ist auch ein Weg"

oh i looked in the lexicon...
Where there's a will, there's a way.

lol... maybe i'll think about it in my free time :hehe:

do so :D

I am sure you can put glass instead of flip-ups if you wanted to.

of course you can but the whole point of pop-ups is that the hood is all metal, no glass/lights anywhere to be seen. Imagine how, say, a Ferrari F355 would have looked if instead of popups it would have been glass... i wouldnt want to imagine that.... dont get me wrong it suits some cars to have the glass instead but not other cars...

hmmm can soneone photoshop? :D

ive tried and failed too many times... maybe if you ask someone in the graphic manipulation section of the automotive art forum they might be willing to give it a shot... some of the guys in there are pretty good :cool:

Ask andeE or paranoia boats.

Pop ups are far cooler than set headlights, just ask and 924/944 owner ;)

The 928 is an interesting one because its lights do pop up, but theyre visible even when in the "down" position.... that was one cool car :D

Yeah, the 968 had the same style lights. I have seen a 968 rebody for 924/944s that uses the factory glass cover, but a recessed headlight from an escort in box in the fender.

interesting... personally i do not like popups very much... shame about the lotus. :)

I think they look great. They gave us beautiful cars like the F355! :D

Not always. Just ask anyone with a "winking" car.

at high speed they are not the best :D

winking cars... heheh... and they always seem to have their high beam on to compensate for only having one functioning light... that pisses the hell outa me! :D

for some reason hardly anyoen ever gets pulled over for it!!!

true... my biggest hate, though, is when both rear brake lights dont work.... and you only find out when they slam the brakes in front of you :mad: ... and women seem to like driving around at night without their headlights on... it takes half an hour of gesticulating to get them to understand that as well..... they dont say thanks either friggin bitches

lol driving without lights at night?
she wouldn´t see much.... ;)
she must have been drunk

I think the motorways are too well lit, otherwise they would notice ;)

your motorways are lit? oh cool...!!!

umm.... yes they have light every 20m in the middle of the motorway strip so they light both sides. also on some dual carriage ways as well as motorways.

cool...
here in germany we only have lights in the cities

Really? maybe there is too much motorway to rig it up now, as we started off with them on a lot of Motorways.

I dont go out of London much so im not driving on motorways so often, but they're not all lit... The M1 (i think) has a nice long stretch where its completely pitch black.. Dangerous in the night when its raining... and thats not so rare in good ole Engerland!

hey what´s the problem driving at night in the rain without lights on the motorway?

Going north there is a long black stretch.

You can't see without light Menu...

what about headlights?????
you don´t need streetlights...

I dont know, maybe just to give you improved visibility.

Menu, on these dark stretches of the motorway, with your low beams on (normal night lights) you cant see the thing that separates both sides of the motorway, you know, the barriers in the middle.. even with the high beams on (strongest light) it's still not that clear. when youre doing 90mph in the fast lane, right next to the barrier, then all of a sudden you cant see it anymore it makes for pretty stressful driving conditions. if you dont have a car in front of you to follow it can be pretty hard work, especially if its pouring down

hm we have a crash barrier between the one and other side.
i don´t have problems with it...
i cannot remember how it really looks like on england motorways.
i´ll see in september when i visit you :)

I'm guessing you'll have a nice BMW company car too :D

Hopefully i'll have my 330 by then, fingers crossed

hm
i´m not sure...
probably only a rental car,
a 318i or 320 with automatic...

Buy some of those blue laser beam of death lights for it... then remove then when returning the rental, and sell them on Ebay :D
